US chip giant NVIDIA has launched an investigation following reports of its CEO Jensen Huang’s extramarital affair with a suspected spy for the Chinese government. In a recent statement, the company’s board disclosed that a committee of independent directors, assisted by outside independent counsel, will oversee the probe.
The statement went on to assert that the board prioritises US national and economic security, as it is crucial to the interests of NVIDIA and its shareholders. While the board claimed that it had no reason to believe that either national security or company secrets were compromised, it vowed to examine all the available information.
